Green Beans Recipe
This Green Beans Recipe is a simple, healthy vegetarian side dish that’s garlicky, sautéed in olive oil, and finished with a sprinkle of Parmesan—ready in under 20 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh green beans trimmed
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic thinly sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt plus more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper freshly cracked
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- squeeze of lemon juice for brightness
Instructions
- Thoroughly rinse and dry the green beans to avoid steaming instead of toasting during sautéing.
- Warm a skillet over medium-high heat to prepare for sautéing the green beans.
- Sauté the garlic slices in olive oil until aromatic, then proceed to the next step.
- Add the green beans to the skillet and sear for 2 minutes to brown them.
- Season with salt and pepper and continue to sauté until beans are bright green and tender-crisp.
- Remove from heat, sprinkle on Parmesan, and optionally drizzle with lemon juice before serving.
Notes
If beans feel woody at the tips, snap off the ends before trimming. Covering briefly helps with even cooking.
